In order to provide a simple and cost effective power supply for lunar base construction and operation, an orbital satellite approach for the power generation source is proposed. The power system would be solar (photovoltaic) or perhaps, initially, nuclear. The power would be transmitted from the satellite by microwave beaming to a simple lunar receiving system: wire mesh. Deployment of such a concept will enhance the prospects of robust and timely lunar base development.
